Today I am thankful for our tax refund! Woo hoo! Unfortunately, it all had to go to pay off debt, but I feel good about making a dent. We usually have to pay taxes, but thanks to the adoption credit, we got money back this year. It sure did feel good to receive money instead of having to send in a check.

We had an awesome day today. After I dropped off Lucy for school, Annie and I headed to therapy. She did great today. Really showed some progress in areas we have been focusing on. It was really relieving to me to see her making such big strides. The OT and I were both very pleased. I brought Annie home to nap before picking up Lucy. Lucy had a fabulous day at school. I have her parent/teacher conference on Wednesday and I am excited to hear what her sweet teachers have to say about her. After both girls napped this afternoon, we ran a few errands and then ate Vietnamese food with Mandy, Anna, and Louis. Lucy actually ate her Pho noodles. And then we finished the day at the park. I had told Lucy we could go to the park earlier in the day and she did not forget even though it was getting late. She seriously forgets nothing. We played for a while and then headed home for baths and bed.

I am really excited because I have been getting a lot of interest in my photography business lately. I have three more sessions in the next week and two more waiting to be scheduled. If you didn't see last night, you can see how yesterday's session went at the La La Blog. The pics turned out really sweet. Also, if you are in the Northwest Arkansas area and are interested in booking a session, I will be in Fayetteville from May 6-10. I would love to schedule some shoots while we are there. Email me at info@lala-photography.com.

And finally, I wanted to say that Annie had her best day of eating ever today. She calmly sat and ate her food at both lunch and dinner - both times in a high chair, which often causes anxiety for her. It was awesome. It wasn't even messy. Basically all of the food went in her mouth and was swallowed. This is HUGE for us. Big, big day around here!



It really is a shame she is such a sad, sad child. We almost never see her smile. ;)


Don't you love her eyelashes?


I love this series. She was looking right at me telling me a BIG story - full of goo, goo, ga ga's. Mom, I think what she was trying to say was, "I once caught a fish, this big." Her expressions are the best.


Annie has a question again.


Hello, it is exhausting holding my leg up. Could you please call on me.

Maybe if I raise it a little higher you will see it. Or maybe I will practice my heel stretches.
You know what, just forget it. I don't even remember what my question was anymore. (I do, of course, realize how huge of a dork I am, but I just couldn't resist the commentary.)


Could this dress be any more adorable? Or the girl wearing it? She looks like a little present.
